In February, Bertinelli opened up about “hidden bruises” she “activated” after putting on a pair of pants that she waspreviously ridiculedfor wearing.
“I’m giggling because I had a small hidden bruise that was activated today. You can probably hear them because my pants are rubbing together and it makes this particular sound,” she said. “I stopped wearing them because I was…mercilessly mocked, you know, ‘I’m too lazy to do anything about it. They wouldn’t rub together if you…'” she trailed off.
TheKids Baking Championshipstar explained that “hidden bruises are something that emotional, verbal, mental abuse do to you.”
“People can’t see [them] but we got to deal with [them] everyday when they’re activated,” she said. “I’m so grateful the work that I’m doing on healing, is working.”
Even though it makes her “giggle now,” Bertinelli admitted she once “put these pants away forever” and even changed the way she walked in them. But now, she feels liberated to wear them again.
In January, she posted about"finding texts" and being called “fat and lazy"in the past.
“I have been screamed at so many times and told how fat and lazy I am,” Bertinelli said in an Instagram video. “I realize…that was someone just projecting on me whatever they needed to project on me, but my part in all of it was believing it, and I don’t believe it anymore. But it still doesn’t stop the feelings from coming up and the hurt.”
Bertinellihas saidthat through “journaling, therapy and especially humor,” she is healing.
